I found using standard cvs, rather than cvsup, to be sufficient. At one point I had a current cvs tree for KDE3 on my PC, but it lost out due to the addition of a bunch of WAV files. Restoring my old LPs has taken a priority over trying to maintain a cvs tree for KDE3. I followed the instructions here: http://www.kde.org/anoncvs.html It was pretty painless, actually. Pam's script should help you. Someone sent me a script that was supposed to automate the whole she-bang, I think I still have it...yep. Let me know and I'll make it available to you, either e-mailing it off list or putting it up on my webserver. Be warned I haven't actually USED the script, a member of the kde-user list had it up on his web site and i grabbed it. Also, the cvs sources are supposed to have a script that does a similar thing.
